WWE NXT Level Up 4/21/2023

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2023/04/wwe-nxt-level-up-4142023.html

Mr. Stone is at the commentary booth again.

Wendy Choo and Valentina Feroz vs Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson

Wendy and JJ lock up. JJ headlocks her then shoulders her over. JJ is tripped then catapulted into the buckles. Feroz meteora's JJ for 2. Feroz does a nice roll into a backslide. Feroz takes a knee from Lash and Lash ends up hitting a suplex after some move blocks.

JJ side slams Feroz then Feroz is beat up on. JJ kicks the bottom rope into her face then is rolled up. JJ double underhook suplexes her then JJ grounded submissions her. Feroz hits dropkicks to the knee then Wendy gets the hot tag in. Wendy hits a japanese amrdrag on JJ then forward cartwheels into an elbow. Lash and Feroz end up going over the top then Wendy hits a full nelson slam and wins it.

Lash had a lot of awkward sections here. I don't know if it was planned that way or what, but it brought down the match. Feroz wasn't that interesting here either.

Kale Dixon and Javier Bernal are interviewed. JB said he's all about giving back and said he'd team with Kale, who reminds him of himself. Kale takes off shirt and says he's taking the fans to the gun show. JB asks if that's distracting and Kale says it is 100%. JB says he sees himself in him but he needs to be ready. Kale says the relationship will be beautiful then both pose in front of the camera's. This was a fun interview.

Damon Kemp vs Oro Mensah

Kemp headlocks him, takes him down and rolls over his back. Kemp mocks him then takes armdrags and a dropkick. Oro headscissors him then Kemp hits a nice slam. Kemp grabs him by the neck from behind and swings him around. Kemp hits mounted punches then germans him for 2. They trade forearms and Kemp hits a stiff german that Oro was not ready for.

Oro asai moonsaults him then scissor kicks him for 2. They roll back and forward and Oro tries to pin him out of it. Oro kicks him in the back then takes an electric chair into a german for the Kemp win.

This was on the shorter side and it was a decent match. The two matched up together well and Kemp hits some nice offense.

Kale Dixon and Javier Bernal vs Edris Enofe and Malik Blade

Enofe his new glasses with his logo on them. I don't know how he sees out of them.

Kale has new tights with lips on his backside. Enofe rolls Kale up twice then dropkicks him. Kale takes a sequence with knees and a reverse sling blade. JB hits punches on Blade then Blade knocks him down with a punch. Blade hangs from the top rope and JB ties him up there further and stomps him. JB ddt's the leg then Blade has his legs split.

JB drops Blade's knee on his knee then he does a single leg crab. JB butt drops the knee but is pushed over the top rope. Enofe gets the hot tag in and lariats Kale. Enofe backdrops him into the buckles then spins him and backdrops him. Enofe hits a top rope elbow. Enofe and Blade hit a samoan drop + blockbuster combo and win it.

It was pretty short at only 6 minutes or so. There wasn't anything wrong with it.

Overall thoughts: There were 3 matches this week and none were really that special. This was a very skippable episode.
